March 2025
It is Book Fair Week! On Tuesday night, the Fair will be open for families to shop; be sure to check out the Art Walk while you're at school! Thank you for helping to raise roughly $350 for our Coin Drive for the Book Fair!
It was another incredible performance from our Wolverines during the Missoula Children's Theatre production of 'Alice in Wonderland'! Over 60 kids participated in the production last week and it was a great performance. Congratulations to all of the stars.
Mr. Schoenfeldt has planned games of kickball for our youngest Wolverines and we need your help! If you’re already at school around the K-2 recesses, check in at the office and join the fun!

It's finally here! The annual Wellington Book Fair will be the week of March 24-28 in the Wellington Library. Your student will have the chance to shop the Book Fair during their regularly scheduled library specialist time. Extra shopping hours are each day before school from 8:30 to 9am, and each day after school for 30 minutes (Monday through Thursday). The Book Fair will also be open the evening of March 25 for families to come shop, as well as check out student art work at the Art Walk (read more on this event below). For more information on the Book Fair or to pre-load a student account, use this link to the Scholastic Website.
We need LOTS of volunteer help to make our Book Fair run smoothly! Book Fair Volunteers help set up and take down the book fair, help at the cash register, retrieve posters, greet customers at the door, help students count their money before getting to the register, and assist with Family Night. Please consider signing up for one or more shifts during book fair week using this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B0E4BAAAA29A6FC1-book. Contact Mrs. Beavo at kbeavo@nsd.org with any questions. Thank you!

April 29 - May 5: Ridwell Plastic Film Drive
Save those plastic bags and bring them to school! We are teaming up with Ridwell to gather as much plastic film as we can over the course of a few weeks. Ridwell will pick up the bags on May 6 and recycle the contents! This drive is free to us, and if 10 families join Ridwell service, our school will be entered into an opportunity to receive Ridwell service for all of next year!
